Inside Schiaparelli’s L.A. Party With Jennifer Lopez, Designer Daniel Roseberry and Evil Eye Cookies
“The relationship between fashion and celebrities can feel very transactional,” said Daniel Roseberry, the Hollywood-loved artistic director of Schiaparelli, at a party for the brand on Thursday, Oct. 12 in Los Angeles.
All around him at the event — held at the iconic Mayan-style John Sowden House in Los Feliz, designed in 1926 by Lloyd Wright — there were actresses aplenty wearing the label’s surrealist-infused looks.
Jennifer Lopez posed by the pool in a strapless corset dress with golden evil-eye details at the waist. Demi Moore chatted with Angela Bassett and the latter’s stylist Jennifer Austin by the bar, as waiters passed around cookies decorated to look like evil eye symbols, one of the house’s signature design codes. Elsewhere, Gabrielle Union, Taraji P. Henson, Olivia Wilde, Natasha Lyonne (with filmmaker and Xtr founder Bryn Mooser), Regina King and director Janicza Bravo all hung out in a lively large group.

Panic! at the Disco held a special place in many fans’ hearts over the past two decades since they first burst on to the music scene in the mid-2000s. In January 2023, lead singer Brendon Urie announced that Panic! at the Disco would be disbanding after 19 years of performing. The decision comes as Urie turns his focus to his family and away from the spotlight.

Formed in 2004 in Las Vegas by longtime friends Urie, Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith and Brent Wilson. With only Urie remaining from the original line-up, the band has essentially become his solo project.
Here is his full statement:
Growing up in Vegas I could’ve never imagined where this life would take me. So many places all over the world, and all the friends we’ve made along the way.

(Warning: This post contains major spoilers through the finale of “Mare of Easttown”).
HBO’s Kate Winslet-led limited series “Mare of Easttown” concluded Sunday with a shocking finale that dropped more than one bombshell on the audience, including the identity of Erin McMenamin’s (Cailee Spaeny) killer.
The beginning of the hour led fans to believe that John Ross (Joe Tippett), the husband of Mare’s (Winslet) best friend, Lori (Julianne Nicholson), was the one who murdered Erin — his cousin’s daughter, with whom he was having an affair and secretly fathered a child. But that revelation was debunked towards the end of the episode, which saw Mare figure out the true culprit was Lori and John’s young son, Ryan (Cameron Mann), and John and Lori had lied about the crime to protect his family.
And the reason the preteen had killed Erin was because he thought he was protecting his family,...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Sacrament,” the series finale of “Mare of Easttown.”
HBO’s “Mare of Easttown” almost did not end with Mare (Kate Winslet) finally ascending into the attic, where her son died by suicide.
“We said, Does it feel like we’re doing two endings? Do we really need Mare going in the attic?” Winslet recalled during a live Instagram Q&a hosted by the network and moderated by Variety‘s senior artisans editor, Jazz Tangcay, on Tuesday.
Winslet, who executive produces the seven-part limited series in addition to starring in it, said she had conversations with creator Brad Ingelsby and director Craig Zobel about whether or not the show should just end at the powerful moment between her character and Lori (Julianne Nicholson). The team decided to shoot the scene and determine whether they would use it or not when they were in post.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the season finale of “Mare of Easttown.”
“Mare of Easttown” has, from its first moments, been something special even in a very crowded lane. The prestige-actress-led murder mystery on HBO has, in recent years, seen outings that have achieved varying degrees of creative success, among them “Big Little Lies,” “Sharp Objects,” and “The Undoing.” One element that differentiated “Mare,” finally, was that it really stuck the landing, delivering an ending both of narrative wholeness and of real emotional power. But what had set this series apart from the beginning was its deep and abiding sense of setting, in small ways and in large. In its final moments, “Mare of Easttown” beautifully communicated its series-long central idea: Living in a place that insists one give up, one must still try to find a way through.

What a freakin' mess that has been made in Easttown. Mare of Easttown concluded on Sunday by explaining who actually killed Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny) and how, and then explaining it all over again. It was not, as everyone thought at the end of the last episode, Erin's cousin Billy Ross (Robbie Tann). It was also not, as everyone thought at the beginning of this episode, Erin's cousin John Ross (Joe Tippett), though he was the real father of Erin's baby. It was actually the young Ryan Ross (Cameron Mann), John's son, who shot Erin on accident while trying to prevent his family from breaking up again. He was just trying to scare her off with a gun, and it went off when she tried to get it away...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Mare of Easttown” Episode 7, “Sacrament,” including the ending.]
Two seemingly contradictory elements from the two loosely tied sides of “Mare of Easttown” found harmony in HBO’s buzzy crime drama. The first element is the red herrings, or as my editor begged me not to call them: the red mareings. Creator and writer Brad Inglesby absolutely littered his seven-part limited series with clues, many of which eventually proved misleading, in order to create an addictive whodunit for viewers at home. The second element, which runs very much in opposition to the first, is closure. If the audience feels too jerked around during their extended search for the killer, a murder-mystery is bound to fall apart, no matter how shocking the big reveal.
But the actual case is only one side of “Mare of Easttown,” and leading into the Episode 7 finale, closure had already started for our titular hero’s personal journey toward salvation.

This article contains spoilers for the Mare of Easttown finale.
Mare of Easttown creator Brad Inglesby never wanted the ending of his detective story to come completely out of leftfield (or to use a basketball analogy in honor of the title character: be a half-court heave).
In speaking to Collider in advance of the series (or season?) finale, Inglesby said: “I hope (the) audience trusts that we’ll do right, in terms of the ending. It’s not gonna be one of those endings where it’s like, ‘If you blinked in episode 1, it was that weird guy in the woods,’ or something like that.”
Well now that the Mare of Easttown finale has concluded, it appears as though Inglesby kept that promise. The answer of “who killed Erin McMenamin” was certainly surprising but also refreshingly guessable. In fact, we came pretty close to guessing it ourselves! This finale hammers...

Panic At the Disco accompany their soon-to-be-released studio album "Vices & Virtues" with a short movie called "The Overture". It's directed by Shane Drake and follows Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith as they lead some people to get to a place where they dream to live in peace. Former members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker are featured as two ghostly figures in this clip.
The video features snippets of four songs from the upcoming CD. "It's something we've never done before. We love the music, but under that we want to make things as dramatic and theatrical as possible. There's dancing, there's choreography and a lot of cool little surprises," Urie said to Rock Sound.
Talking about working with Drake who has directed some of their music videos in the past years, Urie gushed, "Shane is just so awesome to work with, he is unlike any director we've known. He really...

In the third quarter of 2009, several new bands were formed and fall tour dates were announced. Also, some artists decided to leave their record labels and sign a new deal with other companies. One of the artists who called off his professional engagement with his label was young rapper Bow Wow. He jumped from Columbia Records to cash Money.
Moreover, music scene was sent to shock when Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift's Best Female Video acceptance speech at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Instead of congratulating Taylor for the honor, he told the audience that Beyonce Knowles should have won the award.

Despite what you may have read, Ryan Ross isn't a drug addict. He isn't a troublemaker or a "rock star" either. He wasn't the reason Panic! at the Disco split up. He's just a guy with a new band (and a new album) who just so happens to also be carrying around a ton of baggage. And he'll happily discuss all of it with you.
"I don't take myself very seriously. I gave up on trying to prove anything to people. If something is funny to me, it's funny," he said. "I don't really take anything very seriously, I guess, unless it's about the band. I would say my main goal is to be one of the top 20 most-hated people on the Internet. I'm well on my way.

With the departure of Ryan Ross and Jon Walker from Panic At the Disco, the band are now deciding to bring back the exclamation point, which was dropped from the band's name in January 2008. In an interview with MTV, drummer Spencer Smith explains the reason behind his and Brandon Urie's decision to pick up the punctuation mark again.
"For me and Brendon, there were aspects of our first album that did sort of go away on 'Pretty. Odd.' that we'd like to bring back to our band," Spencer says. "There's some theatricality and some different styles of music, and we want to make a record that is drawing from both our previous albums."
"And it just seemed like it would be a fun thing for our fans. Hopefully, there's less of a big deal [made] about it coming back than there was about it going away. It seems like a new chapter,...

It was the one question that dogged Panic! at the Disco the entire time they were promoting 2008's Pretty. Odd. album: Why did they decide to drop the exclamation point from their name?
In retrospect, it seems like a pretty dumb thing to focus on — especially since Pretty. Odd. was pretty great — but when Panic! became plain, old Panic, it turned into one gigantic, yearlong headache for the guys in the band.
"It's amazing because we never necessarily got asked about it that much when it was in there," drummer Spencer Smith told MTV News. "And then all of a sudden, we decided to take it away for Pretty. Odd., and we were asked about that in, I think, every interview for a couple months.

After leaving Panic At the Disco earlier this month, guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker form a duo called The Young Veins. With this new band, they hope "to embark on a musical excursion of their own."
"We're going with the Young Veins," Ryan e-mailed MTV regarding his new band announcement. He and Jon actually considered The Guts for the band's name but then decided it was "too punk". At the end, they chose the name Young Veins because it sounds like it could have been lifted off one of the old Stax 45s from which Ross said he and Walker drew influence.

At the end, they chose the name Young Veins because it sounds like it could have been lifted off one of the old Stax 45s from which Ross said he and Walker drew influence.

Nearly a month after parting ways with Panic! at the Disco "to embark on a musical excursion of their own," Ryan Ross and Jon Walker have finally decided on a name for that excursion. They're calling themselves the Young Veins.
Ross e-mailed MTV News late Monday night to make the announcement, which came two weeks to the day after he told us that he and Walker were at a loss for just what to call their new retro-leaning band. (Of course, we tried to help out the best we could.)
"We're going with the Young Veins," Ross wrote. "I hope you'll check us out."
For a time, they were also thinking about "the Guts," but decided it was "too punk" for their liking. Young Veins is a fitting name,...

Ryan Ross has spoken out about his decision to leave Panic At The Disco, admitting that the split had been in the pipeline for several months. The guitarist and lyricist confirmed that he had quit the band with bassist Jon Walker last week after the pair decided to "embark on a musical excursion of their own". Speaking to MTV News, he said: "There was a period where we weren't really talking to each other all that much, and Jon and I were just living at my house and continuing to write. "We kind of realised we needed to get over not speaking and figure out what was actually going on. So we all sat down and pretty much came to the conclusion that the best thing for everyone was to do what (more)...

Last week, just days after Panic! at the Disco announced that Ryan Ross and Jon Walker were leaving the band, a certain photo began making the rounds on message boards and gossip sites ... one that seemed to confirm most Panic! fans' suspicions about why Ross had split in the first place.
The picture shows the guitarist reclining on a couch, with three very young girls around him. In the foreground, there is a table cluttered with bottles of liquor, cigarettes and one very prominently placed bowl of what appears to be cocaine, chopped into little lines and ready to be snorted.
In a lot of ways, the photo looks like it could've been taken backstage at a Led Zeppelin show, circa 1970 ... which is what bothered most Panic!

Last week, fans were shocked when news broke that Panic! at the Disco were parting ways with guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker, who left the band to "embark on a musical excursion of their own."
But according to Ross, the split had been in the cards for sometime now. It just took everyone a while to realize it.
"It's been a little while, a few months since we started thinking that this might be the best thing to do," Ross told MTV News late Monday (July 13). "Jon and I had been writing a bunch of stuff on the road, and it just got to a point when we were off tour, when we were talking...

It's been an interesting week for Panic at the Disco. First, they split in half, with guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker leaving to "embark on a musical excursion of their own."

But, with an album tentatively due this year and dates on the upcoming Blink-182 tour looming on the horizon, fans started to wonder: Just who will be taking Ross' and Walker's spots in Panic?
Urie and Smith (and their labels, Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic) weren't about to reveal that information, which may explain why,...

We are all excited for the future, you should be too."

Panic at the Disco announced that they will be splitting in half, with chief songwriter Ryan Ross taking bass player Jon Walker and heading out “on a new musical excursion.” Frontman Brandon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith will continue on as Panic at the Disco, and the pair will still play their scheduled dates on the Blink-182 reunion tour (with two replacement members, of course).
Ross and Walker haven’t named their new group, nor have they given any indication what it would sound like. But Urie and Smith will reportedly finish up the already-in-progress third album. But what will all this new music sound like? For those answers, we take a look at John Norris’ conversation with the band just prior to the release of their last album. Since Pretty. Odd. had such a strong Beatles influence, Norris asked the group to name their favorite Fab Four songs, and...

The initial sessions for Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd. rather famously took place in a cabin deep in the mountains of Nevada. For their new album, they're trying something different: They're writing in a house deep in the canyons of California.
For roughly half a year now, Panic have been working on the follow-up to 2008's Odd, mostly at guitarist Ryan Ross' Topanga Canyon home. And when we caught up with frontman Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith at Blink-182's pre-tour fiesta, we decided to get a status update on the project.
"We've been doing home demos for the past six months — just kind of writing — and we're pretty close," Urie explained. "Still some work to be done,...

Discussing their genre switch with BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat, the group said: "With this new record our main goal was to make people open their eyes and view us as a band and not really as a specific trend." Guitarist Ryan Ross told NME that the band are now focusing on writing material that they want to hear. He explained: "Changing our sound and our image for the last (more)...
